More about the fishing adventure!

Fishing can range from being an action-packed sport to a serene meditation, and you get to choose what you want to make of it. We’re ready with tips on fishing spots, and if you lack equipment, there’s simpler gear available for borrowing. All that’s needed is your love for outdoor camaraderie. If you feel uncertain or want to learn more, we’re happy to assist you in booking a guide to accompany you on your fishing trip. Fishing is not only exciting but also offers beautiful walks and nature experiences in the form of birds, wildlife, and beach finds. And the campfire! How cozy is it to have lunch together around a crackling fire? and to brew your lunch coffee in the flames and grill marshmallows for dessert?

There are plenty of fishing opportunities here. Ljungskileviken has many shallow bottoms where sea trout search for sandworms, and off the deep ledges, the larger fish hunt herring. Additionally, several trout-bearing streams flow into the bay. This, combined with the protection Orust provides against Skagerrak, makes the bay a great fishing spot. During the summer, sea trout move to deeper waters, but then mackerel enter the bay instead. If you prefer fishing in a lake, there are good perch waters within walking distance from us. At our facility, you can both clean and freeze fish, and periodically, we have our fish smoker running. If you tire of fishing, carve a bark boat, birdwatch, take a swim, or stroll along the beach.

Welcome to a fishing adventure!

Fishing in Ljungskileviken and Equipment

Sea trout are most commonly caught with spinning rods on the west coast, but also with fly rods. Early in the spring, fishing is usually best on the shallows, and then it’s an advantage to have wading pants or to fish from a boat. You can also fish from our docks. When the water gets a bit warmer, sea trout tend to stay in places where there is a certain current in the water, such as at points and straits, making it easier to fish from the shore. Where sea trout are located primarily depends on the water temperature and water level in the streams. Generally, it can be said that they tend to disappear from Ljungskileviken in June and then return in late August to migrate upstream.

Mackerel arrive on the Bohuslän coast in May to spawn and feed. They swim in shoals that enter Ljungskileviken in mid-June and stay until September before returning to the North Sea for overwintering in deeper waters. Mackerel hunt herring shoals, chasing them to the surface, which sometimes makes it look like the sea is boiling. Mackerel fishing is most commonly done with handlines from a stationary boat, but they can also be caught with spinning rods from land and from the bay’s docks. We recommend that you rent a rowboat with an outboard motor if you’re coming to fish for mackerel.

Perch can be caught in one of the farm’s lakes within walking distance from us. Perch can be fished with spinning rods and by angling, making it a simpler alternative compared to sea trout fishing.

The level of fishing you want to engage in is up to you. We provide you with maps and tips, as well as lend out basic spinning rods, nets, and handlines. Those of you who wish for more advanced equipment should bring it yourselves. For those who want to supplement their equipment on the way here, we recommend visiting Björns Fiske and Jakt in Stenungsund, which has a wide range of equipment and is very knowledgeable.

Fishing Regulations around Ljungskileviken

From April 1st to September 30th, it is allowed to fish for sea trout in Bohuslän, and there are several great fishing spots around its fjords. Keep in mind that the minimum size for sea trout is 45 centimeters, and you are only allowed to keep 2 fish per angler per day. The minimum size is set so that the trout have the opportunity to spawn at least once before being caught. When it comes to mackerel, there are no restrictions on size or quantity. It is prohibited to fish for cod, haddock, and whiting around Ljungskileviken as the bay is an important reproductive area for these species. Read more about the regulations here at the County Administrative Board. Additional advice for you as a fisherman: Never catch more fish than you and your family can eat. It is forbidden for recreational fishermen to sell fish. Immediately euthanize caught fish that you intend to keep. Release gently the fish that you cannot or do not want to keep, and do not handle them with dry hands, as this damages the fish’s slime layer. Also, if possible, avoid taking the fish out of the water when unhooking. Show respect for nature. Always leave the fishing spot in the condition you want to find it! We are the ones who should pass on the opportunities to fish in a living environment to future generations.
